    22" Widescreen LCDs

    I gave up on 22's after trying several Gateways. Traded it for a Viewsonic 20" 2035wm. Very happy. Much better image quality, and plenty big enough.

    Can someone clear this up for me? - 360 on 2405fpw - Best HD Res Comp vs VGA ?

    What is the fix for washed out colors on the Xbox 360 over VGA?

    DLP TV as computer monitor?

    I have my PC connected to a 50" Sammy DLP through DVI, and it looks great with no flicker, ghosting or any other frame-rate related problems. Connect through DVI (VGA also works), set your PC to output to the TV's native rez at 60 hz, and you're done. You do not need to worry about refresh...

    22" Widescreen Monitor Compromises

    Well, I finally decided I'd just never be happy with the visual quality of the 22" Gateway. There were times when I was okay with it (while watching video or playing games), but it simply looked horrible on the PC compared to my previous 19" Viewsonic 930b. I'm running DVI at the panel's native...

    Need a Display For An Xbox 360.

    In my opinion, DO NOT get a 4:3 LCD for your 360. The 360 was designed around widescreen. Yes it does do 4:3 but there are a number of annoying issues in many games with fullscreen mode. Just browse the official Xbox forums to see what I mean. Gears of War and Oblivion are particularly...

    22" Widescreen Monitor Compromises

    It's sounding like these panels (Gateway and Samsung) are identical underneath the surface.

    22" Widescreen Monitor Compromises

    I think I'm starting to get used to this panel's imperfections, and I do really like the huge image that a 22" provides, along with the bright colors and great contrast. And all the inputs are a big plus, though I hope I never have to use the S-Video or composite. As I understand it, the...

    22" Widescreen Monitor Compromises

    I just took the plunge into widescreen, and purchased a Gateway FPD2275W. After reading various reviews and posts, I concluded that this monitor was an excellent value and generally great quality. Overall I am pleased, but I'm experiencing the same drawbacks of the 22" panels that are widely...

    Gateway FPD2275W Reviews

    Just picked up this monitor yesterday. Generally it's great but mine seems to have a pretty bad case of backlight bleed. Also, text in native rez thru DVI is not quite as crisp as I expected. I may exchange for another unit tonight. How does text look on your screens? Does anyone have this...
